1. I met a gin soaked barroom queen in Memphis,
          C                              G
    she tried to take me upstairs for a ride.
         C                                 F
    She had to heave me right across her shoulder,
          C                      G               C
    cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind.

It's the Honky Tonk Women,
                   G                       C
give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.

2.  Strollin' on the boulevards of Paris,
        C                            G
    as naked as the day that I will die.

    The sailors they're so charming there in Paris,
              C                  G               C
    but they just don't seem to sail you off my mind.

3. I laid a divorcee in New York City,
       C                            G
    I had to put up some kind of a fight.
         C                             F
    The lady she all dressed me up in roses,
          C                G               C
    she blew my nose and then she blew my mind.
